Do you always find it is raining when you walk out？Or are you always buying umbrellas and leaving them home when it rains？There is a new umbrella that could solve both problems．
The umbrella will not only tell you the weather，but also let you know you've left it behind．
How does it work？The umbrella will send a message to your smartphone．And it says"Hey，it's going to rain in 15 minutes where you are，so you'd better take your umbrella．"Besides，if you are forgetful，
you may never leave an umbrella on a bus or somewhere else again．The umbrella will send a warning to your smartphone if you leave it behind．
The new umbrella is expected to go on sale soon．
Though it is a good idea and it looks pretty cool，the umbrella will cost you ＄185．Maybe you will just check the free weather apps （应用程序） on your smartphone and take an umbrella with you when it is going to rain．
41．How many problems can the new umbrella solve？

Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on，a study suggests．
For over 10 years，researchers from universities observed （观察） children in 100 schools from 25 countries．They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes．It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on．
"Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on，"said professor
Stephen Heppel，a lead researcher．
"The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair．And we've found that 95% of them really don't read on a chair at home，"Heppel added．"When they go on holidays，they read lying down．"
Professor Heppel hopes to bring the"shoeless policy"to all U．K．schools．He says relaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they're at home．He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit．

Though you are a teenager now，there will finally come a time when you start to earn（赚） money．While it may be fun to have your own money to spend，it can also be difficult trying to manage it properly．Here are some tips on how to manage your money．
Use your money wisely
Most teenagers earn money for everyday use，or because they are saving up for something．So when they receive their money，they must first decide what they want to do with it．However，try to avoid the temptation （诱惑） to spend it all in one go （一口气）!Remember：Money takes a long time to earn，but it goes very quickly．
Bank your savings

Use the money to make money
Rather than saving your money at home or in a bank，you can use the money you
earn to invest （投资） in things to make more money．For example，if you are selling
something around your neighborhood，you could pay someone else to sell your things in their neighborhood．This way，by spending a little，you can make a lot．

As an exchange student，I must admit （承认） that at first America was a big culture shock for me．
I stayed with a host family in a small town．My host parents organized a lot of activities in my spare time so that I wouldn't miss home or feel lonely．
However，life was hard to get used to．My main problem was with the language．I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast．Though I managed to get used to it．I
still have problems because they used a lot of idioms （习语）．
Another difference was with the food．My host family always had bread，potatoes and salad for meals．I really miss the dumplings，rice and delicious dishes from home．
School was a big shock too．They do not require students to wear uniforms，so students can wear
almost whatever they like．Some students have strange hairstyles （发型） as well．Some students even
have pink or purple hair!

My dream was to see some real snow，so during the Christmas holiday，we took our passport （护照） and flew over the Pacific to Calgary，Canada．We took a bus to a ski resort in the Canadian Rockies．As the bus climbed through the mountains，we saw the thick snow on the trees．I was dying to get
out and play with it．At last，we reached the resort and quickly jumped out of the bus．This was our
first experience with snow．We were like little children﹣﹣﹣we made snow balls，and threw them at one another．Then we check in at the hotel．
The next day，we put on our ski suits and gloves，took our skis and went outside onto the snow．Our
instructor took us to a gentle slope （斜坡），and showed us some basic skills．To be honest，the first lesson was not a great success．I kept on falling over，and I had to hold on to a rope to keep my balance （平衡）．
However，the next day，I only fell over a few times，and I managed to do a few rapid runs．I felt pleased with myself，and my instructor told me I was doing much better．Although it was very cold，I spent most of my holiday skiing．I had a wonderful time．

When you think about inventions that have changed human's lives，what comes to mind？The car．the compass （指南针） or the computer？We hardly think about those more common things．But without them，our life will be much worse，for example，eyeglasses．Imagine a world without glasses，many of us would walk into things．So who invented glasses，and how were they first made？
The truth is that nobody knows who invented eyeglasses．What we do know is that the earliest lenses （镜片）made from quartz （石英）．As soon as people worked out how to make glass without bubbles they started miking lenses out of glass．
Glasses spread quickly all over Europe and Asia．But early glasses were squeezed （夹） onto the bridge of the nose．It was painful for the wearers．So there was still one big problem：
How to keep them on the wearer's face．It took nearly 400years for people to come up with the way wear glasses today
We should be thankful lo Benjamin Franklin，who invented bifocals（双焦点眼镜） in the1780s．He liked lo read or watch sceneries（景色） far away while traveling．But he hated to change glasses all the time．Then Franklin cut his glasses in half and put them together with his distance glasses．Now they are still popular．
（1）Which invention is more common，the compass or the glasses？
（2）What were the earliest lenses made from？
（3）Where were glasses popular after they were invented？
（4）How long did it take people to think of the way we wear glasses today？
（5）When were the bifocals invented？ ．
